Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety ski binding according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a safety ski binding of this type is described in FR-A-14 85 708.
  • the central transverse region of the sole holder, on the rear of which the control track of the latching device is formed, is designed in the form of a roller.
  • the hand lever In the open position of the sole holder, the hand lever is supported on a raised transverse wall, which serves as a limit stop.
  • a tooth formed at the end region of the locking rocker (referred to as “cam” in this publication) only serves as a limit stop for the roller and thus for the opening angle of the sole holder.
  • the hand lever in this known solution acts exclusively as an opening lever, so that the entire sole holder must be swung down against the force of the release spring to close the binding. This procedure is particularly cumbersome during assembly.
  • the above-mentioned handling is also cumbersome for the skier who closes the binding, for example for transport, after getting out of the binding.
  • the release spring and the opening lever can be pivoted together, even if in one of the exemplary embodiments about two separate transverse axes.
  • the sole holder is only released by the opening lever; The skier has to open the sole holder separately with his ski boot (see Fig. 9).
  • cams which contribute to closing the sole holder is already known from this publication. The familiarity of this measure with a non-generic binding has therefore been taken into account as such in the characterization of claim 1.
  • the hand lever has two shoulder-shaped sections which are supported in the closed position of the binding on a lower or upper pin of the sole holder.
  • the hand lever can be operated by pulling or pushing and the sole holder can be opened.
  • This known hand lever is therefore also only effective as an opening lever, since the sole holder is opened both by its depression and by its lifting.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a safety ski binding of the type mentioned in that the binding can be easily closed by means of the hand lever.
  • the object is achieved by the characterization of claim 1.
  • the hand lever which is in any case present, is also used to close the binding when it is pivoted against the opening direction.
  • the popularity of the first group of features from FR-A-2 508 807 was stated to be known per se. Due to the fork-like design of the load arm of the hand lever, the two crotches can optionally be used for opening and closing the binding, such a design of the hand lever not being able to be found in any of the known solutions and also not being suggested in summary.
  • the two cams according to FR-A-2 508 807 act on the release lever from the outside and are provided on two longitudinal axes.
  • the features of claim 2 enable a particularly space-saving and weight-favorable construction in the free end region of the load arm.
  • a low-friction power transmission is guaranteed by the features of claim 5.
  • the features of claim 6 are provided in order to avoid both overdetermination between the sole holder and the extension or the two fork tines and to prevent undesirable noise during skiing.
  • the leverage ratios used for power transmission can be varied in larger ranges by the designer.
  • This is preferably the use of a known principle according to DE-A1-3432826. In conjunction with the inventive idea discussed at the outset, this measure therefore forms a further advantageous inventive solution.
  • the embodiment according to claim 9 further increases the accuracy of the connection of the two locking rockers, the bearing formed by two rollers reducing the resulting frictional forces.
  • FIG. 1 to 4 show a first exemplary embodiment of the invention, a longitudinal section in FIG. 1, a partial plan view in FIG. 2 of FIG. 1, and a longitudinal section in FIG 1 open position of the binding, similar to FIG. 1 and in FIG. 4 a partial section along the line IV-IV of FIG. 2, for the sake of clarity only with the sole holder and hand lever, and FIG. 5 another embodiment, similar 1, but using two locking arms which are connected to one another by means of tabs.
  • a rail 2 is fastened on the top of a ski 1 in a manner known per se, for example screwed on by means of screws, not shown.
  • a base plate 3 of a safety ski binding designated as a whole as a heel holder 4 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the ski 1 and can be locked in the desired positions, also in a manner known per se.
  • a base body 5 is mounted on the base plate 3 of the heel holder 4 so as to be pivotable about a pin 5a designed as a vertical axis.
  • a pin 5a designed as a vertical axis.
  • the base body 5 carries a first transverse axis 6 which passes through the upper region thereof.
  • the sole holder designated in its entirety by 7, and on the other hand, a second locking rocker 14, which will be described in more detail later, are pivotably mounted.
  • the sole holder 7 itself has a sole hold-down 8 and a step spur 9 on its front part, as well as a transverse region on the back of its front part with a control cam 7a acting as a counter-latch and a contact surface 7b (see in particular Fig. 4) for one arm, yet hand lever 12 to be described in more detail.
  • the base body 5 is penetrated by a second transverse axis 11, to which a first locking rocker 13, which forms part of the locking device, is articulated.
  • This locking rocker 13 carries a pivot axis 13a, on which the hand lever 12 forming the essential part of the invention is articulated.
  • the structure of the hand lever 12 is as follows:
  • the region of the hand lever 12 which extends above the pivot axis 13a acts as a force arm 121.
  • the force arm has a receiving piece 122, e.g. made of a plastic material, which can be actuated by means of a Skistokkes and is designed in a known manner for this purpose.
  • the load arm 123 extending below the pivot axis 13a is designed at its lower end region as a grip for the lower section at the transverse region of the sole holder 7; Furthermore, the load arm has an extension 124, which is configured to run approximately at a right angle on a plane that runs through the longitudinal center line of the hand lever 12 and is normal to the plane of the drawing.
  • the free end region of the load arm 123 and the extension 124 form a kind of fork in the hand lever 12, one of these two forkings engaging the sole holder 7 in every position of the heel holder 4.
  • the free end region of the load arm 123 of the hand lever 12 ends in two fork prongs 12a, 12b, which in the driving position engage under the transverse region of the sole holder (7) on both sides (cf. in particular FIGS. And 4).
  • the extension 124 has a shoulder 124a and a nose 124b, by means of which the extension 124 is optionally supported on the contact surface 7b of the sole holder 7.
  • the projection 124a also serves as a stop for the hand lever 12 in order to prevent the housing of the sole holder 7 from being knocked out by the latter.
  • the nose 124b of the extension 124 bears against the contact surface 7b of the sole holder 7 (cf. FIG.
  • the friction forces which arise during the closing process are reduced by the projection 124a or by the nose 124b.
  • the further measure serves the same purpose, namely that the extension 124a and / or the bearing surface 7b carries a sliding strip made of a low-friction material or is coated with such a material, or consists of such a material. These measures are known per se, so that from a representation of a sliding strip or the like. was disregarded. Polytetrafluoroethylene, which is available under the brand name “Teflon”, is particularly suitable as a low-friction material.
  • the extension 124a of the extension 124 on the one hand and the two fork tines 12, 12b on the other hand enclose the transverse region of the sole holder 7 with play, whereby a match is avoided.
  • the hand lever 12 is held biased toward the sole holder 7 by means of a light spring, which is only indicated by the arrow 125.
  • a second locking rocker 14 is provided, which is acted upon on its side facing away from the first locking rocker 13 by a locking spring 15, the other end of which is supported in a known manner on the base body 5 and by means of an actuating device designated as a whole with 16 can be changed with regard to its pretension.
  • actuating devices are known per se, so that there is no need to go into further detail on their design and operation.
  • the first locking rocker 13 has an extension 13b on its side facing the second locking rocker 14. This rests on the front support surface 14a of the second locking rocker 14. It has a nose 14b projecting to the rear, which lies in a pan-like recess in the spring plate 17 of the detent spring 15.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrate two locking arms 13, 14, only the use of a single locking mechanism is relevant to the invention swing enough.
  • the use of two locking arms only improves the gear ratio.
  • the essence of the invention has the particular design of the hand lever 12 as its object and can also be realized in connection with a single locking rocker.
  • the extension 13b of the (single) locking rocker 13 lies in the pan-like recess of the spring plate 17.
  • the front area of the first latching rocker 13 facing the control curve or control track 7a has a latching lug 13c which, as a catch, cooperates with the counter-latching of the sole holder 7 designed as a control curve or control track 7a.
  • the sole holder 7 is acted upon by a leg spring 10 which urges it in the opening direction.
  • the sole holder 7 is pivoted clockwise about the first transverse axis 6.
  • the control cam or the control track 7a presses against the locking lug 13c of the first locking rocker 13, which in turn acts on the second locking rocker 14 via the extension 13b and in turn, also swinging about the first transverse axis 6, compresses the locking spring 15.
  • the hand lever 12 When arbitrarily exiting the binding, the hand lever 12 is pressed down in the direction of the arrow F. By depressing the hand lever 12, pressure is exerted on the one hand by the first locking rocker 13 via the second locking rocker 14 on the locking spring 15 and on the other hand a moment in the opening direction on the sole holder 7 that the skier would have to overcome the entire force of the detent spring 15.
  • the triggering process is otherwise similar to that described above in connection with an involuntary triggering.
  • the hand lever 12 is pivoted in the direction of the arrow F 2 , the position according to FIG. 3 to be achieved from the position shown in FIG. 3. It is easy to see that due to the attack of the extension 124 on the bearing surface 7b of the sole holder 7 the same can also be brought into the closed position with relatively little effort, because it is sufficient to compress the detent spring 15 slightly to the rear of the transverse region of the sole holder 7 to slide down along the front area of the first locking rocker 13. An embossment 124c can also be seen on the extension 124 in order to reduce the frictional forces which arise between the side wall of the sole holder 7 and the hand lever 12.
  • the base body 5 of the heel holder 4 is pivotally mounted about the bolt 5a. This ensures diagonal triggering, which measure is known per se and does not form part of the subject matter of the present invention. It should only be mentioned to demonstrate that the measure according to the invention can also be implemented in connection with such a heel holder. Of the measures required for this purpose, only a roller 18 can be seen in the lower region of the sole holder 7, which is fastened in the sole holder 7 by means of a retaining bolt 19.
  • a counter-latch 20 is provided on the base plate 3, which blocks a purely lateral triggering and allows lateral movement around the bolt 5a of the base body 5 only when vertical forces also act on the heel holder 4 and a predetermined swiveling up of the Sole holder 7 has already taken place.
  • the second exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5 differs from the first exemplary embodiment only in that the first locking rocker 13 'with the second locking rocker 14' by a pair of lugs 21 which are articulated by means of bolts 22, 23 on the locking rockers 13 'and 14' , connected is.
  • the hand lever 12 is supported on a spring 7'c formed from the cover of the housing of the sole holder 7 '. This eliminates the need to use a separate spring (arrow 125) inside the housing.
  • the rest of the structure and the mode of operation of the heel holder 4 'according to FIG. 5 correspond to those already described.
  • extension 124 carries at least one embossment 124c. This reduces the frictional forces that occur between the side surfaces of the sole holder and hand lever.
  • the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment shown. Further modifications are conceivable without leaving the scope of the scope of protection.
  • the upper area of the spring housing can be used to support the sole holder. be designed to be resilient in its open position, which makes the use of a separate opening spring 10 unnecessary.
  • the measure according to the invention can also be used in a heel holder without a diagonal release. Furthermore, the use of the extension 124c of the extension 124 can be dispensed with if there are other geometric relationships, e.g. with a child's heel holder.
